Comments twitter facebook Sina Microblog reddit Dick Costolo, the chief executive officer of Twitter, arrived at Shanghai PudongInternational Airport on Monday to start a three-day visit.
While on his first trip to China, Costolo will visit local government officials, academics andcollege students in Shanghai.
He will also visit Fudan University on Wednesday, on a visit he has defined as personal.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has frequently visited China and has publiclyexpressed his company's goal of entering China.
Unlike at Facebook Inc, whose CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a frequent visitor to China and hasopenly spoken of his desire to enter China, Twitter's senior management has played downthe likelihood of seeking a license to do business there.
The management team of Twitter has never identified a similar goal. But Costolo's trip isbound to stoke speculation about the company's ambitions in the country.
A spokesman for Twitter declined to disclose more details about Costolo's talks withShanghai government officials, but said the CEO aims for a better understanding of Chineseculture and the prosperous Chinese science and technology realms.
Twitter has denied the possibility of setting up a Chinese office in the near future, as theywould then have to abide by Chinese laws.
Even though the company has not officially entered China, however, Twitter can still earnmoney from the Chinese market. A large number of Chinese application developers,including Lenovo, now use Twitter’s mobile advertisement platform MoPub.
